If you have not passed any food safety certificates do not give advice.
Thanks

None of our Grandmother's had 'certificates' on their walls,and they never killed anybody !What's happened to common sense I wonder ?:-)

It is on that note that I propose that we ban any 'old' person from passing on any wisdom they may have to any 'young' person, I mean clearly none of that 'wisdom' would conform to todays restrictions and standards surely.I mean, what would OSH say?
What say you community!

according to osh-this oldie died long ago.
common sense is not a subject taught at school these days.

Sadly, it doesn't seem to be taught in the home much now days either.

You can't 'teach' commonsense - you can only learn from observation of others using theirs.

Common sense is not so common.

Most ridiculous statement I have read on here for a while

On this note ... we actually often refer to it as 'uncommon sense',as it is a rare commodity these days !:-)

Fair enough if it's advice re commercial premises, which is where accreditation applies, but people who have raised families without giving them food poisoning would seem to be eminently well-placed for giving advice re food safety inthe home.

The people complaining about my first post = the people who do not have food safety certificates.

And your point is?

I'd certainly ban this 'old person's wisdom' ;)

But we are talking about food safety !Our Grandmothers knew how to keep food safe to eat,without even having a refrigerator to help them.I've been camping many times without all the mod cons and have never given anyone food poisoning,due to exercising good old fashioned common sense.The first statement is akin to saying 'don't wash your windows unless you have an OSH certificate',Lordy !! ... The whole notion is another example of people getting 'dumbed down' and not thinking for themselves.

Who died and put you in charge?
There is certainly some bad advice given in ALL areas of the messageboard. But it's the responsibility of the opinion seeker whether they follow it or not.And quite frankly, if they listen to the first opinion given and don't bother checking or researching further, then they get what they deserve.

And grammar would be a bonus too. ;-)

So after we implement that - we could ban everyone from giving recipes unless they have been a qualified chef for 3 years, two weeks and 27 days.
It is a MB - people post messages, up to everyone which ones they ignore, follow, laugh at etc.
You really do come across as a busybody, talk to the advice given at the time rather than look at me threads like this.

Another example on what is happening to the recipes message board. People who think their better than others. Attention Seeker anyone? or just stirring up trouble for a laugh?

ferita is just stirring - his main occupation here. I have yet to see a post that contains anything useful.
